In this powerful two-hour interview, aerospace consultant Dr. Carol Rosin reveals a groundbreaking treaty she developed with her colleagues, including astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, designed to keep space free from weaponization. Dr. Rosin reflects on her journey, detailing how she came to work with Dr. Werner von Braun in the 1970s, and shares the chilling "deathbed confession" von Braun entrusted her with. He warned that the U.S. would use escalating global threats to justify space-based weapons, with the final card being an alien invasion. Von Braun also predicted that the alien threat wouldn't materialize until the public stopped believing in Earthbound wars�a point Dr. Rosin believes we are now witnessing.
Despite enduring threats, blackmail, theft, and physical attacks alongside her husband, Dr. Rosin bravely decided to step forward and advocate for the Outer Space Security and Development Treaty of 2011. As she boldly asks: Would we rather have weapons above our heads, or transform the war industry into a peaceful World Cooperative Space Industry?
